"Another birthday has passed and still I still cannot let you go - I remember you and Jamie and Barton as children - how beautiful you all were and how much you loved each other - I remember you all having a happy childhood and that comforts me and nothing else does - I cannot imagine being anything but griefstricken for the rest of my life - I;ve lost all of you - your mother"

"Way back in the Jurassic Period, Elvis gave away Cadillacs at the drop of an I.V. and every homeless bum on the corner just might be Howard Hughes, ready to give you a million in return for simple human kindness. Times have changed. The Angels have gotten organized. Letters for The Harvest. Happy birthday. Soon, Barton"

""Since our move from West Tennessee in 1971 my contact with you was limited. But I have so many memories to treasure of our times together in Ripley, Memphis and the trip to Florida in1973. CW 3 you were the one of the most loving, compassionate and giving persons I was blessed to know. You will be missed. I love you Wison."

"Continued from last email. I miss you. I love you. We all love you and miss you. The world is not the same without you here. You made it a better place. I have many regrets that I did not ever tell you this. But this is one of my "should haves" that I deal with. I pray one day I can tell you exactly what you mean to me. I love you honey ♥"

"I have and always will call you "Little Wilson." This name was given to you because you are the Third in Viar's. So you began being call Little Wilson. I remember changing your diapers, taking you to swim in Dennis Henry's pool in Ripley, TN., and watching you grow up to the loving and caring man you turned out to be. I think of you often. It seems like you should still be here with us."
